I own these tires because they're actually the only tires
available for the OEM 17 rims than came on my 2007 Porsche Cayman.
There are literally no other options. Used to put Contis on, but
can't even get those anymore. I've had them for a few winters now.
I live in downtown Toronto and we get a mix of light and heavy
snow. Some winters we just get really...

Only after 1600 miles, I noticed how much quieter these tires
were compared to the OEM Pirellis. We just had a light snowfall and
these tires performed exactly as I had anticipated. I tried to spin
all four tires in the snow, but couldn't. One thing I have not
liked about continentals are their softer sidewalls. I am thinking
these tires seem to flex more...

I have had 6,000 miles on both front and rear with these tires
including 5 track days, about 3 hours each day of track time. I am
replacing the rear only. The front have a lot of miles left. I have
tried Michelin and Conti on Porsche and this is the best. I have
also tracked twice at Sebring in the rain. And while there was not
standing water as they clear...

So R7s are my first step up from R888s, Advans, Pilot Sport Cups
and Pirelli Corsa (on newer Porsches) and other like R comps
through 10 years of track experience. I replaced worn out R888
245/45/17's at 4 corners of my trusty old track prepared '98 M3 -
first thing of note, the tires are substantially wider in sectional
width than like sized other brands of...

I have Sumitomo tires on 2 vehicles, presently--a Porsche 911
and Toyota Highlander. I am purchasing another set for 3 rd
vehicle. I am very pleased with the tires--despite some garage
mechanics disparaging the brand. The Highlander is used for
extended hockey trips and does 10 to 13 hours at sustained high
speeds fully loaded--without any glitches. The...

Often times, you'll see two different listings for seemingly
identical tires, but they have two different prices. What in the
world is going on with that?
Tire manufacturers will give different part numbers to the same
model of tires if the tires have a different sidewall styling,
speed rating, load index or
O.E. designation. These differences in the tires...

If you don't believe the hype with these tires, then you need to
try them and boy will you be a believer. After having the front
suspension components replaced on my 650i equipped with 19 genuine
BMW Style 167(M6) wheels(245/40ZR19 and 275/35ZR19) along with a
weighted alignment, it is literally like day and night when it
comes to responsiveness and...

I will update this as they wear but I am pleased with these so
far with only a few hundred miles. My Michelin Latitude Sports
lasted 21k and were at the end of their life. They wore well and
did better than many of the other choices compared to what I have
used on the two different CTT's I've owned. The Mich's were a quiet
tire with negligible noise change...

Replaced my Bridgestone Potenza RE 50's ( they were 10 years
old) with approximately 8500 miles on them. 285 30 18 rear, 235 40
18 front. These were really good tires but the road noise and ride
was a little harsh. I think age and size played a role.I purchased the Michelin Pilot Super Sports based on reviews on
line and from speaking with other owners, (...

We live in a suburb of Seattle, so we do not get much snow ...
but we do go up into the mountains in the winter, over two of the
higher elevation passes. We have excellent Pirelli all-season tires
for 8 months of the year, but wanted 'real' snow tires for the
additional safety during December-March. Based on the reviews, we
selected the Dunlop, although we...

This is the third set of these tires for my Cayenne. The OEM
tires lasted about 15,000 miles. I changed the second set out at
16,000 even though they were not down to the tread wear indicators
yet. This third set is performing like the first two. Excellent in
the rain, smooth ride, and handle great at all speeds wet or dry.
Nothing will make a five thousand...

I just ordered by second set of these tires for my Cayenne. All
other tires for my high performance SUV cost at least double the
cost of these and many of them perform much worse. I have almost
150k miles on my Cayenne. I have purchased Porsche NXX OEM tires,
Pirelli, Michelin, and Continentals during the time I have owned
this SUV. I drive a 911 during the...

I had a question from a customer that surprised me the other
day. After doing this for as many years as I have, I tend to think
that I've heard it all. We were talking about an older BMW, and he
asked me if the original tire sizes were staggered. I replied that
they were not. His follow-up question was, "Well, why not? It's not
like the car is all-wheel...

My 911 is a daily driver; dry, wet or snow it gets driven
(Porsche's do actually come with outdoor paint, it's okay to drive
them when the sun isn't shining..hehe) I used to always run Summer
wheels and super sticky Summer tires and then switch over to a
winter wheel with snow specific tires come winter, that is until
the winter of 2013 when I figured I'd...

Many purists called foul when Porsche introduced its first SUV,
the
2003 Cayenne S. Ultimately, the Cayenne brought new drivers to
the market. Have you always liked the Cayenne but wished it was
smaller? Say hello to the
2015 Porsche Macan S and
Macan Turbo.
The 2015 Porsche Macan has it all with speed, handling and
utility - but how does it perform in the...

Only had just over 30k miles on the OEM Contis, but since they
were 8 years old, got a new set of AS3s based upon press reviews
and early consumer reviews. Very pleased, the Jag is ultra quiet,
and remains so with this tire. I like the response, the aluminum
body is stiff, and occasionally do some spirited driving when the
road is clear, etc, and this tire...
